Safety - Measure What Matters!
Would you believe that an organization can skip along with zero safety effort for years and not have an accident? I've witnessed it. It's usually discovered post accident. In contrast an organization with a comprehensive, robust, well-orchestrated safety effort can experience an accident. That's the basis for my position that accident rate is the least meaningful measure of organizational safety. In fact measuring accident rate does your organization more harm than good. That said, I ask you, what is meaningful to measure in terms of safety?
